The January Fashion Agenda | Cari's Closet | OOTN

January can be such a hard slog, can’t it?

Everyone’s on a diet, running a marathon, doing Dry January and hiding from the miserable cold, grey weather. What the month really needs is a big dose of sparkly glam – it’s the ideal time to plan a girls night or a date and have a good excuse to get your full dazzle on.

Cari’s Closet is an Irish boutique that’s the destination for event dressing. Whether it’s a number for a night out, wedding guest attire, or a formal evening, I’m sure you’d find something to love there. If you're trying to find the best new night out fashion for 2018, it's all there.

The pieces are beautiful, luxurious and unique- plus, you won’t see anyone else in the same outfit. So if you’re wanting all eyes to be on you, for all the right reasons, it’s a great place to pick out a dress.

Here, I’ve styled the Taylor long-sleeved lace dress in navy. It’s an absolute stunner, featuring beautiful cut work lace and a flirty little ruffled skirt, plus an elegant high neck. It would really make you stand out for a special occasion, but could easily be paired with opaque tights, flat OTK boots and a leather jacket to make the look more casual.

With the beautiful detail on the dress, you don’t need a necklace so to add a bit of sparkle, I paired it with sparkly silver velvet ankle boots and one of my go-to bags, the beautiful Lily in this taupe leather - the colour contrasts really nicely with the navy dress, although I also adore a black and navy combo. It's such a beautiful outfit for an evening out.

All your packages from Cari’s Closet come beautifully presented, wrapped in tissue and enclosed in a little black box. There’s no better start to a special occasion.
